r.i.p

i saw the taiwanese news & i was shocked to learn 许玮伦 died this evening.
:( she was in a car accident on fri.
life is really so short.
i don't really know who she is but i remembered her in some taiwanese variety show.
she is quite pretty.
红颜薄命

i feel unusually sad...
i've no idea who she is and it appears that she is quite a popular celebrity.
i feel pain in my heart...
this is really tragic..
this shouldn't have happened.
她有个美好的前途..

rest in peace, 许玮伦...

innovative

A print of a cup of Folgers coffee was placed on top of manhole covers in New York City , USA .
Holes on the print allows the steam to come out.
Wordings around the cup reads 'Hey, City That Never Sleeps. Wake up." from Folgers.


An innovative idea on a large billboard in Amsterdam , Netherlands .
It really makes you want that 'Heineken'.


This is a great advertisment campaign at Unicenter Shopping Mall in Buenos Aires , Argentina for Valentine's Day.
It magnifies the romantic ambience with a simple idea.


An ambient exercise to promote Eatalica burgers.
A 'Caution Wet Floor' board was placed near an Eatalica burger signboard.
The copy on the board reads 'Oogling at the burger may involuntarily cause drooling which may in turn lead to a wet floor.
Issued for your safety by the management of Eatalica restaurant'.
Eatalica is an American-Italian Food Joint in Chennai , India .


A giant mirror was built that allowed passersby to stop and look at themselves wearing Indivi clothes at a shopping mall in Tokyo , Japan


An advertisement for a job recruiting company in Berlin , Germany .
Depicting people working in the vending machines, ATMs, it delivers the message that 'Life is too short for the wrong job'.


This is an advertisement found in Vancouver during the National Non-Smoking Week.
The car was placed at the Vancouver Art Gallery and the message reads 'Death from car accidents: 370, Death from smoking-related causes: 6,027, Quit now before it kills you.'


Life size images were stuck on glass doors at shops, airports in South Africa for the advertisement of glass and window cleaner I.C.U.
The expression on the face is priceless.



This is a creative ad by Mini Cooper placed at the Zurich , Switzerland train station.
It gives the perception that the Mini Cooper has a large space.

a patient's mum sent me this email & i think it is really meaningful.

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.

Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man couldn't hear the band - he could see it. In his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days and weeks passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.

He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.

It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.

She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."

Epilogue:

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.

Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.

If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.

"Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present."

to sydney

J just called & asked if i'm going to seoul for 동방신기's concert in feb.
i said no.
he sounded sad.
after that, he told me of a suggestion.
to go to sydney.
he wants me to consider to move to sydney.
absurd?
he is not giving up.

my retribution?

'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.'

i need to sleep.
don't want to think anymore.

the burning crusade

=) WOW players must have been anticipating this.
alot of people lined up at suntec to get the official launch of this game.
been a long time since i last gamed warcraft.
the burning crusade is so cool with new alliance & horde race!
new spells, jewelcrafting..
my gaming urge is back~

save me

would u still be the one?

'They say you won't know how somethings are precious to you until you lost it.
And will appreciate more if you find it back.'

how true

Iris: I understand feeling as small and as insignificant as humanly possible. And how it can actually ache in places you didn't know you had inside you. And it doesn't matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of Chardonnay you drink with your girlfriends... you still go to bed every night going over every detail and wonder what you did wrong or how you could have misunderstood. and how in the hell for that brief moment you could think that you were that happy. And sometimes you can even convince yourself that he'll see the light and show up at your door. And after all that, however long all that may be, you'll go somewhere new. And you'll meet people who make you feel worthwhile again. And little peices of your soul will finally come back. And all that fuzzy stuff, those years of your life that you wasted, that will eventually begin to fade.
quote from The Holiday

how true.
when the night falls, no matter how hard i try to ignore my feelings, i'll eventually feel really low.
在夜深人静的时刻, 脑子里总是浮现很多的问题..
可是我常常都没有答案..
谁会来帮我找答案？

恶作剧

partying & boozing hard enough will make one forget troubles.
momentarily. that's good, though it is for awhile.
for new year, we went to Velvet Underground & drank ourselves silly.
Vodka Lime, Long Island Tea, Flaming Lamborghini & e 33 made us freaking high & almost killed us all.
the puking part is, of course, the most disgusting :x
well, paying to get drunk & puke.
at least, it made me gay for a few hours.

this weekend, after a North Indian dinner at Swissotel, we headed to Ministry of Sound to celebrate pauline's birthday.
this is rather amusing.
among the girls, i was the only one who got checked for ID.
guess i should take it as a compliment? =P
i was a party girl reborn at M.O.S.
it had been an awfully long time since i feel like a dancing queen.
u will get the moves at SMOOVE. =)
alot of guys surrounded us at the dance floor.
lucky they didn't do anything funny to us.
it was sardine-packed.
several times, i can feel that cutie's hands near me.
he was standing close behind me.
marlene kept asking me if he was touching me.
i would have smack him if he did!
most of the gang were drunk by the time we headed back to our seats.
they were boozing alot of Chivas.

i wish i was dead drunk so that i can forget my incurring pain.
at least for awhile.
i'm wondering if i was cursed.
whenever, someone asked me how i'm doing & i said everything is good.
a few days later, my life will be screwed.
something, that is going to rip my heart, is bound to occur.
it appears that he has more to speak to someone else.
they talk & sms each other often..
regarding each other's problems & sometimes i hear my name..
i can tell though he didn't say who.
my 6th sense is always right.
am i still the 1st one he tells of his ups & downs?
seriously, i don't know..
things were no longer the same ever since i succumbed to my vice.
do i regret for that vice?
yes, i do.
it almost took everything away from me.
i almost died.

yes, they are good friends. i know.
i've a few close guy friends, too.
i know platonic friendships exist because i've them.
why do i feel threatened?
partly because i don't know her & the gang had seen her before?
seen pics of them?
i'm not a jealous freak.
i'm just a pathetic, insecure loser who can't see the light.
3 months ago, the gang always tell me to move on & take the time to find someone new.
they said i'll have no problems hitching a new chap who might appreciate me more.
but no.. i tried & my little heart still refuses to open up.
he is irreplaceable.
josh disclosed to me that i must work hard & i'll still be the one.
that is what he told josh.
i'm working so hard but can he see?
the whole gang can but can he?
is he blinded by something else?
can he see actions speak louder than words?

one of my failures is not asking enough.
i always let him do what he desires.
i don't ask more. why?
because i'm not a sticky glue or miss ask-it-all.
he has his own life to lead.
he is mature enough to know what is right or wrong.
i don't believe in grilling every details out.
what is the point?
a relationship is built on trust.
when he told me he wants alternative sundays to himself, i said ok.
in my heart, i feel misery building up.
i'm only spending the weekends with him.
2 days out of 7 days.
is that too much?
in fact, it is little.
did i protest?
no, i didn't. i don't deserve the rights to.
all i want is more understanding & love.
are these too much?
look deep into your heart & ask yourself.
why are you punishing me so severely?
do i really deserve this much?
不要把我们之间的爱情剧变成恶作剧好吗?

why do i feel i'm going into my withdrawal state again?
i'm so numb.
i can't breathe.
why am i weeping?

what am i to you?

time for bed.
stop dreaming, girl~

bad start

on my 1st working day.
things didn't exactly went well & i'm kinda pissed with some of my staffs.
not very responsible, considering the fact they have worked for more than 4-10 years.
these people know well enough on how to handle such cases, why pretend?
this is so crappy!
oh yes, another thing is $ IS NOT EVERYTHING.
不要用你的臭钱来压人!
the higher educated some are, the more nasty they become.
where have their morales disappear to?
anyway, what comes around goes around.
i take it with a stride, as a good training ground.
only the 3rd day into 2007 & i'm already upset..
2 more days to go before it is weekend..
must endure...

忍 忍 忍

我要加油！

happy 2007

my 1st post of 2007 =)
will be a short one, mostly about the movies i saw during the last week of dec 2006.

manipulating life & death through black note-books..
Death Note The Last Name. Light & L, who will win?
nevertheless, i think it is pretty amazing to have 2 death gods falling in love with a human.
overall, it was good but manga readers might be a little disappointed with the movie.
i still enjoyed it =)

Charlotte's Web is a sweet & touching story between 2 'can't-be-friends' creatures.
animal lovers will adore this...
& you will change your view on spiders =)

Curse of the Golden Flower tells a sad tale of family feud.
incest, hatred, jealousy, love.. all these sins lead to death...

heart-wrenching movie... people killing each other for the sake of Blood Diamond.
i'm disturbed after watching this.
innocent kids were brain-washed to become killing machines.
humans can become so evil.. ;(
despite of these, a fraction of the human race still believe in the good of all humans.
good will always triumph over evil.

would you like to spend a Night at the Museum? i would!
this movie is light-hearted & humorous!
i love the van scene!
i don't mind having a T-Rex as my pet dog. muahaha!
laughed so hard at this movie.
worth every penny!

the last movie that i truly enjoyed will be The Holiday.
the beautiful scenes, friendship & love blossoms...
what more can i ask for?
this film made me think alot... & to believe in love again =)
many a times, i've thought of running away to a remote land to live my life.
irrational thoughts i would say.
running away from troubles is what a coward will do.. isn't it?
but do i have the courage to face my problems?
i must find the strength..
through myself & my buddies who always believe in me.
i'm ever so thankful of my friends for helping & bearing with my nonsense..
you guys know who you are <3
